ORTHALICUS. 



Subgenus CORONA Albers, 1850. 



A South American group of rather large, solid, lengthened spe- 

 cies, either dextral or sinistral, the colunella more or less truncate 

 or excised at base, twisted and bearing a callous fold above. Soft 

 anatomy unknown. Type L. regina, Fer. 



Corona is considered by Mr. E. A. Smith to be more nearly re- 

 lated to the group of Metorthalicus air amenta rius than to Liguus.

Subgenus HEMIBULIMUS Martens, 1885. 



Fusiform, dark-colored, with obtuse apex, the first whorl finely 

 wrinkled. Columellar margin concave, distinctly truncated at base. 

 The jaw (pi. 56, fig. 50) is composed of 13 imbricating plates, the 

 median one reaching the basal margin. Eadula with 62.2.1.2.62 

 teeth. The centrals are much lengthened, with a long, lanceolate 

 mesocone and vestigeal side cusps. Two laterals on each side are simi- 

 lar, but asymmetrical. The rest of the teeth are short and broad, 

 with quadrate base, very wide, short cusps, and a minute ectocone. 

 The outermost marginals become tricuspid (pi. 56, figs. 51, 52, 53).

In 0. sultana from Guiana, Strebel found the right neck-lobe of 

 the mantle strongly developed; the left forms a continuous rim 

 around the entire mantle. The genital system (pi. 55, fig. 43) has 

 the general characters of other genera of the sub-family, except that 

 the appendix of the penis is represented by a circular swelling. The 

 latter was not noticed by Binney, who examined a specimen from 

 Maranon, Peru.
